I would have much preferred if the narrative hadn’t included his perspective and had focused on the women making up the girl’s family. Somehow, through a combination of blind luck and a strong desire to give the zombie apocalypse the finger, I’ve survived this long. Along the way he runs into a lot of zombies, a lot of really crazy bad people, and a few nice sane ones. All he has to do is traverse the continent and stay alive, not really knowing if his daughter lived or has become one of the undead, herself.

Joe the dog is also a phenomenal addition the plot, adding much humor and fun antics to the storyline. The trouble is, she’s found a great internship with her favorite author and feminist mentor, but she’s low on confidence and questioning that she can pull her life together this summer. The wind makes Gerry weep these days, whereas Stella needs to lubricate her dry eyes with artificial tears: MacLaverty’s use of symbolism is as brisk and effective as his prose, and as lightly yet firmly sketched. Jorge Sanchez spins a zombie apocalypse yarn that is action filled and yet, poignant in displaying both the power and necessity of love and friendship in the struggle for survival His ease of formulating multi-dimensional characters and great dialogue, along with liberal sprinkling of quirky humor, leads to a propulsive gritty page-turner.

I would definitely read more by this author and I would encourage readers who can tolerate graphic descriptions of violent/sexual assault(s) to give The Break a chance. Author Susan Piver recognizes that when a relationship ends, the anguish and disappointment can be crippling. From the first page you are immersed into a world of survival, fear and the best and the worst sides of humanity. There is also some discussion of the struggles of being between both cultures, in the person of a Metis police officer.

I read this as part of a group read and look forward to doing this soon again as its a great way to read a book and although I didn't love this one I am looking forward to more of Traveling Sisters Group reads. I originally picked it up because one of the reviews I read said it contained snappy one liners: that doesn't do it justice! She opens readers up to the idea that love is something that goes beyond sex and desire; it is a healing, uniting force that can exist between all individuals, groups, and nations.The President, on her last address to the American public, tells the nation that the epidemic has reached critical mass and authorization for a nuclear strike had been given in an effort to stop the infection. Sanchez has an excellent grasp, too, on the complications of community and the settlements he creates for the novel each feel unique and believable. When Stella knew everything she knew the details weren't even all that important – it was what it meant that mattered. Several times Gerry sees Stella from afar, lost in her thoughts or wrapped in prayer, and wonders how much he knows her at all. NO…because Jorge Sanchez has a keen sense of humor that is both dry and as hilarious as survival against all odds by an average “Joe”named Jeremiah can be!

Midwinter Break by Bernard MacLaverty review - The Guardian

There is a family tree illustration provided, but even with that, I still struggled to keep the women and generations of families separate which really took away from my reading experience.activitiesBookingConfirmationPageUrl":"/my-account/mybooking/upComingBooking/book-things-to-do/activities-confirmation. From luxury lodges in peaceful woodland settings to fantastic outdoor decking space to dine al fresco – we’ve got the perfect holiday lodge to suit everyone, whether it be couples looking for a romantic retreat or families with kids. I think if you don't really read z-poc books, you'll get a kick out of the action, the adventure, the humor and the dog.

Auch der Wechsel zwischen der personalen und der Ich-Erzählung fand ich sehr interessant und passend. Jedes Mal, wenn sie irgendetwas von all dem laut ausspricht, wird es größer, also behält sie es in ihrem Innern und spricht nur aus, was sie muss. Clearly I’d my eye off the ball but, a bit late to the party, I’m trying to airbrush away all references to it. Aspects of Jeremiah’s story or personality were dropped in at moments when they would be most useful, or most funny, but not fully realized.

You can take your pick from hundreds of indoor, outdoor and watersports experiences, from adrenaline-fuelled thrills to calm and creative activities. She draws from traditional Buddhist wisdom as she offers life-changing tools to readers suffering from heartbreak and sadness. Still, this disbelief is easy to suspend in light of the fact that he's had a couple of years to learn how to adapt. I'd rate this book an R for strong violence and gore, horror and themes of peril, mentions of rape, cannibalism, torture, drug and alcohol use, swearing, and other adult themes and humor.
